Left and Right

There were once two planets who considered each other as friends, the little grey
planet who was very unhappy and the tiny green planet who was very joyful.

Both planets are equipped to support life on them. The planets are alike when it
comes to their temperature, both of them are located within the right distance from the
Sun. They also possess an ozone layer that block harmful rays from sunlight and prevent
the planets from becoming too hot or too cold. With such characteristics, the grey and
the green planet was able to sustain life for hundreds of years already.

With such similarities, they can already be identified as twin planets.

Unfortunately, the people living in them differs in a lot of ways. The tiny green planet
would proudly share how his people protects the endangered species living on it. Its
human beings does it by cleaning lakes or oceans, recycling waste, growing plants or
vegetables and even by preserving their ecosystem. In contrast, the grey planet would
always express his disappointment about the individuals staying on his sphere. The
beings, despite them having all the innovations that they could ever need to protect
their home, had contaminated the whole place with rubbish and pollution that there were
no plants or animals left.

One day, the tiny green planet decided to help little grey planet. He sent one of his
responsible human beings to planet grey. The human being was asked to teach and
inform the grey planet’s inhabitants about the negative effects of their doings. As this
human being walked on planet grey, he noticed how drastically destroyed the planet is.
He tried his best to talk to its citizens, unfortunately they won’t listen to him. They all
thought that the human from the green planet was a lunatic, who is trying to spread fake
news. They shrugged off the idea that they were the ones destroying their planet, aside
from that they also mentioned that developments and innovations are much more
important than the environment.

People from the grey planet pushed him away and told him to return to his planet.
With a heavy heart, the human from the green planet agreed and started to prepare for
his journey going back to his own world.

On his way to his spaceship, he noticed something familiar yet unusual, a flower.
“Unbelievable!” the human uttered. Puzzled and amazed, he came closer to the flower
and saw that it was almost dying. He carefully dug up the flower together with its other
parts. Then, he started looking for a space where it could survive. He turned to the left
and to the right, everything is contaminated. Then he looked up to the stars and
remembered his home, the green planet.

So the human being put on his astronaut suit, and ascended into his
spacecraft. Together with the flower, they both went off to the green planet, far away
from all the pollution and contamination of the grey planet. “I feel sad for them. They
won’t have the chance to see this beautiful flower grow.”
